Pofupofu: A Vase That’s ... Thorny

It is widely known that some flowers - roses in particular, have thorns. Yet, for some reason, the vases we put those flowers into are usually suspiciously smooth.

Japanese designer Ikuko Iwamoto decided to challenge that outdated notion by designing a vase that shows a little more character - perhaps befittingly if the owner’s temperament is as prickly. The result is the Pofupofu Flower Vase.
